The acquisition of power comes with moral and ethical dilemmas from "summary" of The Power by Naomi Alderman
In a world where power is no longer the privilege of a few, but a force that can be harnessed by anyone, the lines between right and wrong become blurred. The ability to wield power brings with it a responsibility - a responsibility to use it wisely and ethically. As individuals gain power, they are faced with moral and ethical dilemmas that they never anticipated. The allure of power can be intoxicating, leading people to make choices that they never thought they were capable of. In the novel, characters grapple with the consequences of their actions, questioning their own morality and ethics in the process. Power not only corrupts, but it also reveals the true nature of individuals. Some characters in the story use their power for good, seeking to right the wrongs of the past and create a more just society. Others, however, succumb to the temptations of power, using it to further their own agendas at the expense of others. The acquisition of power forces individuals to confront their own values and beliefs, challenging them to make difficult decisions that have far-reaching implications. It forces them to consider the greater good versus personal gain, the needs of the many versus the needs of the few. In the world of 'The Power', power is not simply a tool to be wielded, but a force that demands accountability. It is a force that tests the moral compass of those who possess it, pushing them to their limits and forcing them to confront their own humanity.
